Sharing New Track "Carnival Crown"

Hey SV fam - Just sharing some new work with you all. I welcome any feedback you'd like to give, but ultimately just want to contribute to our community and highlight some of the sounds and writing inspirations I'm feeling these days.

This track originated from a short sample I snagged from a different song of mine, one I wrote in 2024. I took a passage I really liked from the end of that song and sped it up about 10BPM and then wrote a whole new piece around the sample. I had so much fun with this one and definitely recommend trying this kind of thing as a production exercise. The original song was titled "Is That Betsy?"

Fun fact: The title of the original song came from a circus I went to when I was a kid, and my Aunt Betsy was one of the professional dancers in it. She wore a really sparkly costume and a huge headdress, and I barely watched the rest of the show, because every time I saw one of the lady circus dancers, I yelled out, "Is that Betsy!!?"

I named this newer 'remake' "Carnival Crown" as a nod to the original title. Apparently, that's one of the official terms they used for that type of headdress.
